Bài mẫu về đề tài Văn hóa IELTS Speaking phần 1
1. Lễ hội quan trọng nhất trong nước bạn là gì?
The most important, in my opinion, is the Tet Holiday, which is similar to Christmas in Western countries. It occurs on January 1st, according to the lunar calendar, it holds significant meaning as it’s the moment when the old year is over and the new year is celebrated. We also have about ten days off during this festival.
- To occur (v): diễn ra
- The lunar calendar (n): âm lịch
- Significant (adj): đặc trưng
- Moment (n): khoảnh khắc
- Day off (n): ngày nghỉ
2. Do you believe this festival will maintain its significance in the future?
Yes, I believe that despite how our lives are changing, Tet will continue to be an essential traditional festival in my country because it is more like a time for reunions, to reflect on what has happened and prepare for new beginnings, and most importantly, an occasion to enjoy ourselves, recharge our batteries and cherish the most valuable things in life.
- Essential (adj): quan trọng
- Reunion (n): tụ hội, đoàn tụ
- To reflect (v): chiếu lại, nghĩ lại
- Beginning (n): sự bắt đầu
- To recharge one’s battery (v): “sạc” lại năng lượng
- To cherish (v): quý mến, trân trọng
3. Do you think there should be more public holidays in your country?
Since people now lead a fast-paced and stressful lifestyle, I suppose more national days off from work would be required. However, I am still unable to come up with another legitimate Vietnamese official holiday.
- Fast-paced (adj): nhanh
- To come up with (v): nghĩ ra
- Legitimate (adj): chính đáng, hợp lý
4. Which holiday or festival has gained popularity in Vietnam recently?
In recent years, due to the emergence of exotic culture, holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s Day have grown in popularity. However, I would argue that these holidays and festivals are more commercialized because businesspeople put a lot of work into gaining more clients well in advance of these holidays. Anyway, regardless of religion or anything else, Vietnamese people always want to take advantage of this chance to unwind and have fun.
- Emergence (n): sự xuất hiện
- Exotic culture (n): văn hóa ngoại lai
- To be commercialized (v): được thương mại hóa
- Businesspeople (n): doanh nhân
- Regardless: mặc cho, mặc dù, kể cả
- Religion (n): tôn giáo
- To unwind (v): nghỉ ngơi thư giãn

Describe a foreign culture that you are interested in.
You should mention
- what this culture is
- how you learned about this culture
- what you know about this culture and explain why you feel this culture is interesting.
When mentioning a culture that I find interesting, I would like to talk about the culture of France, or Paris particularly. The western culture of this hexagonal country’s capital has had a profound influence on modern Vietnamese culture, due to more than 100 years of colonization. However, I only experienced the “real” French culture when I had a trip to Paris last year.
The food, especially the bread, is the first thing that springs to mind when I think about Paris. I appreciate how most Parisians buy fresh baguettes every morning, usually from little local bakeries or “patisseries”. It makes a nice break from the loaves of sliced bread from the supermarket, this is quite similar in Vietnam, however, we usually don’t eat bread, or “banh mi” every day. Moreover, Parisians don’t appear to form friendships with their coworkers to the same degree as we Vietnamese do here, which is one slightly unfavourable difference I observed there.
One last thing to notice is the café culture in Paris. You can always find an interesting place to sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee, catch up with friends, or just watch life as it happens. In fact, I developed the habit of ordering a croissant or a cake at every beautiful café I came across. I appreciate this culture because, if you look closely enough, you can detect similarities between modern Vietnamese and contemporary Parisian culture.
- Hexagonal country (n): đất nước hình lục giác (chỉ nước Pháp)
- A profound influence (n): ảnh hưởng sâu sắc
- Colonization (n): thuộc địa
- Baguette (n): bánh mì Pháp
- To make a nice break from: khác hẳn với
- To the same degree as: giống như
- An unfavourable difference (n): một sự khác biệt bất lợi
- To catch up with friends (v): trò chuyện với bạn bè
- To develop the habit (v): hình thành thói quen
- To look closely (v): nhìn kỹ, để ý kỹ
- To detect (v): nhận ra, tìm ra
- Similarity (n): sự giống nhau
- Contemporary (adj): đương thời

1. Do you believe understanding other cultures is significant?
Yes, I really believe that becoming familiar with other cultures is quite crucial. Not only can you learn fascinating things about them, but it also makes it simpler for you to get along with the people of those cultures whenever you have a chance to interact with them. Additionally, understanding a culture would make doing business much simpler, I think.
- Crucial (adj): quan trọng
- Fascinating (adj): thú vị
- To interact (v): tương tác
- Additionally (adv): thêm vào đó
- To do business (v): kinh doanh
2. What do you consider the most effective method to explore foreign cultures?
I believe that learning a foreign language is the finest approach to gaining knowledge of a nation’s culture. Even when I don’t succeed in mastering the languages I’m learning, I find that I am exposed to common mythical stories, history, literature, poems, and songs, in other words, those which constitute the culture in which the language is spoken. This is because whenever I learn a foreign language, I always have a sudden, unexplainable interest in its culture.
- Finest (adj): tốt nhất
- Approach (n): cách tiếp cận
- To be exposed to (v): được tiếp xúc với
- To constitute (v): cấu thành, hình thành
- Unexplainable (adj): không giải thích được
3. In your opinion, is it preferable to study a foreign language abroad or in your home country?
Certainly. In my view, when you learn a language where it is spoken, you are compelled to use it outside the classroom and become immersed. Otherwise, you only encounter the language during study sessions. I can attest that learning a foreign language in your home country makes it easy to forget what you've learned.- Obviously: hoàn toàn, dĩ nhiên
- To be compelled to (v): bắt buộc phải
- To be immersed in (v): đằm mình, hòa mình vào
- Otherwise: nếu không thì
- To attest (v): chứng minh, chứng thực
